The 20-gauge Steel Lath is ideal for one-coat stucco applications, offering excellent coverage with dimensions of 150' long and 37" wide (51.4 sq yds). Designed with furring points every 4 inches, it ensures consistent and reliable installation.

The increased width ensures complete coverage from the weep screed to the window sill.

The 17-gauge Steel Lath is perfect for three-coat stucco applications, providing extensive coverage and durability with dimensions of 150' long and 36" wide (50 sq yds). It features eight rows of 'Channel Furr' across the width, offering a standard 3/8" furr. The soft-weave process keeps the lath flat and pliable, avoiding common problems like rust, broken wires, wavy edges, warps, and bubbles.

Both products meet industry standards as specified in ICC Report No. ESR-2055. Manufactured with proprietary machinery and a commitment to quality, this lath is straight and flat-lying, reducing labor costs and minimizing claims and returns, ensuring superior performance and aesthetics.
